As the world moved from the 90s to the aughts, the United Nations set out a plan to tackle eight major areas of need across the world. This initiative, called the Millennium Development Goals, ran through 2015.

TRUE or FALSE?

TRUE or FALSE?

The outcomes from the Sustainable Development Goals initiatives will only benefit people and environments in developing countries.

TRUE or FALSE?

Most of the UN’s work is focused on people and places that my own work doesn’t touch, so they probably wouldn’t care much about the outcomes I’m tracking at my organization.

TRUE or FALSE?

As the philanthropic sector shifts to a more strategic, results-focused approach to giving with measurable impact, the United Nations is also taking an outcomes measurement approach to their SDG initiatives.

FALSE.

The SDGs actually have 17 categories. While it’s true that one of those categories is focused on eradicating poverty, there are also goals centered around gender equality, affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, health and well-being, education, climate change, and more.

TRUE or FALSE?

The Millennium Development Goals initiative is over, so the UN's mission must be complete.

FALSE.

Where the Millenium Development Goals left off, the new Sustainable Development Goals have picked up. The SDGs aim to have a transformative impact on our world between now and 2030.

TRUE.

Whether you call them the Global Goals or the SDGs, you're speaking the same language: you're talking about the UN's 2030 Agenda to take bold, transformative and needed steps to shift our world onto a more sustainable and resilient path.

FALSE.

The SDGs are truly global. When the UN says the goal is to end hunger everywhere or reduce inequalities everywhere or slow the effects of climate change everywhere, they mean everywhere. While the specific, on-the-ground challenges may differ from nation to nation and place to place, the goals themselves apply across our world.

TRUE.

We've come a long way since the turn of the millennium, and our ability to measure the results of our giving investments has increased and expanded significantly. With this in mind, the UN is committed to collaborating with partners like you to capture outcomes data to build a meaningful worldwide impact story around the SDGs.

FALSE.

If you're working on a mission that aligns with the SDGs, they want to know about the progress you're making toward impact. Learn more about UN's Partnerships for SDGs and how you can register your initiative to ensure your work is represented in this important and growing global story.
